My practice is centred on our connection to the domestic environment and our emotional engagement with things. Working with photographs, text, drawings and projection, I create narratives in books and boxes, films and installations.

After studying Geography at Exeter University and teaching English in Sudan, I worked as an editorial photographer for many years and then as a picture editor, before wanting to return to the roots of production and a physical relationship with materials. I began formal art training with a foundation course at City Lit, and then an MA in Book Arts in 2015 at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London.

Based now in a studio in Hackney, I make works that reveal the stories behind familiar and familial objects. I layer the analogue and the digital – photographs, drawings and found imagery – with text taken from everyday conversations and technical reports, in order to build up a narrative and reveal the emotions and stories behind objects. Persistent themes have explored memory, absence and loss, as well as ideas of the seen and unseen, historical pain and present-day reparation.
